Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to a process for producing liver cells, especially liver stem cells, which after injection into a mammal or in vitro form liver cells that are differentiated, especially differentiated into hepatocytes, into cholangiocytes, and preferably also into liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) that can e.g. form blood sinusoidal capillaries. The invention is based on in vitro producing liver stem cells from a sample of liver tissue, cultivating the liver stem cells in vitro for an increase in cell number. It has been found that the liver stem cells that are produced by the process of the invention can be cultivated and increased in number while maintaining their capability to differentiate into liver cells, especially into hepatocytes, cholangiocytes, and preferably also into LSEC. Accordingly, the process of the invention is suitable for producing liver stem cells that are autologous for the originator of the sample of liver tissue.
